Great Captain of salvation,
 
Now crowned with highest glory,
 
Joyful we raise,
 
Our songs of praise,
 
And lowly bow before Thee:
 
We worship and adore Thee,
 
Each heart and tongue confessing,
 
Worthy to reign,
 
The Lamb once slain,
 
Of honor, power and blessing.
2
Thou hast the cross endurèd — 
 
In love beyond all measure!
 
The curse, the grave,
 
Thy saints to save,
 
And have us as Thy treasure.
 
We see Thee as the Victim,
 
Our sins and sorrows bearing;
 
The Lamb once slain,
 
Alive again,
 
The crown of glory wearing.
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
3
Head of the new creation,
 
To God’s right hand ascended;
 
Thy saints rejoice,
 
With heart and voice,
 
Before Thy feet low bended:
 
We own Thee, Lord, exulting
 
In all Thy joy and glory:
 
And long to be
 
On high with Thee,
 
Where all shall bow before Thee.
